The book Alien Bedtime Stories written by Grant Cameron is now available on Amazon.

This book contains 71 of the most popular UFO stories for ADULTS from the files of a researcher’s 40 years of research. They were gathered together to create a collection of shorter stories that could be read at bedtime or anytime the reader has a couple minutes.

The stories range from: The bizarre story of one of the most popular stories ever to appear on my presidentialufo website to the story of the Canadian government department that confirmed flying saucers were real, and that they were dealing with recovered UFO hardware which might have included a piece of theÂÂ Roswell crash.

The story is told how the Canadian government communicated with and then tried to get an alien named AFFA to land at a Top Secret base in Alberta. There is a story of the United States cover-up including the CIA’s documented channeling of the same alien named AFFA. The real inside story of Area-51 will be recounted.

There is a whole chapter telling stories about what the various president knew about UFOs. These include inside story of Hillary Clinton and her role inside the Clinton White House on UFOs. There are stories about famous rock stars, Nobel Prize winners, and top researchers who experienced alien abduction.

There is a section on the very important subject of the connection of consciousness to the UFO phenomena and insight into where inventions come from. There are a couple articles on the huge 1975 flap of sightings in Manitoba Canada that has been optioned for a 2016 movie. These articles tell of my involvement in the sightings and the connection of the sightings to the nuclear missiles stored in North Dakota. This is followed by a story of three witnesses who witnessed a UFO at a nuclear silo in Karlsruhe North Dakota, and the story (along with photo) of a daylight UFO witnessed over Nagasaki days after the atomic bomb was dropped.

Finally I tell the story of the Chris Bledsoe 2007 abduction case, and my own personal encounter while at the Bledsoe house. This case is about to become a major Hollywood movie. When you read the story you will know why.

Read the introduction to the book, and see aÂÂ 1945 picture of the daylight UFO over Nagasaki days after the atomic bomb was dropped at my Whitehouseufo Blog.

Just after resigning from the Obama White House John Podesta has tweeted out the following message "1. Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files."

Podesta was the former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton and was known as the X-files man in the White House for his strong interest in the UFO issue. He also publicly called for UFO disclosure in 2002 during the Bush administration.

According to the Washington Post that ran the story of Podesta's tweet "late 2013, weÂ wrote that his arrival meant “the Obama presidential library will be inundated — just as the Clinton library in Little Rock has been — with Freedom of Information Act requests, such as this one: for ‘e-mails to and from John Podesta, containing the words either, X-files or Area 51.”

What Podesta is indirectly saying in his tweet is that he spoke with Obama in 2014 and was unsucessful in getting the administration to move to ending the extraterrestrial information embargo. This fits in with a public statement Obama made during a March 2012 visit to Roswell where he stated regarding the truth of the 1947 UFO crash "We will keep our secrets here."

I also matches a statement made by Obama to actor Will Smith and his son while on a White House tour that he could "neither confirm nor deny that extraterrestrials had visited the earth."

Podesta now becomes the chief advisor to the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. This will make for interesting extraterrestrial politics as Hillary was a key player during the Rockefeller Initiative from 1993-1996 where billionaire Laurance Rockefeller made a move to get the Clinton administration to make a public disclosure of the UFO situation. Hillary's role was 1)all information moving from Rockefeller to Clinton's science advisor and from the advisor to Rockefeller was going through Hillary's First Lady office in the EOB 2) Hillary helped Rockefeller edit a letter on UFO disclosure to the President.

The other night I was listening to a Don Ecker rebroadcast of an interview he did with aerospace expert John Andrews in the 1990s. During interview Andrews referred to a visit he had received from the head of security for USAF black budget programs, and a visit on the same morning that aerospace researcher Lee Graham received from aÂ USAF General.

During this interview Andrews brought up something I had never heard before and which I think is significant. When Graham received his visit from the General at his place of work the security manager at the company was told to leave the room during the meeting. It was almost as if what to follow would not be on the record.

Here is my original story of that encounter that goes to the core of an attempt by the US government to leak core elements of the UFO story into the public and at the same time maintain the classified elements of the programs surrounding UFOs.

Lee Graham has spent three decades trying to get the U.S. Government to make a determination on the authenticity of the MJ-12 and Snowbird document that he received from researcher Bill Moore in the early 1980s. Now years later Graham still believes the document is legitimate. One of the key events that led him to believe the documents are real came from the following encounter.

From time to time Graham got indications that he was on the right track and that people inside the government were acknowledging his key role in bringing documents like the MJ-12 and Snowbird documents to the public.

One such positive indication came on September 15, 1987 when Graham received a personal visit at work from an Air Force headwaters 2-Star General from. Along with the General was a man identified himself as FBI Special Agent William Hurley. The General, dressed in civilian clothes, was introduced only as “Mickey.”

Later while reading an Air Force Magazine in the Aerojet Library, Graham found a picture and identified the second man as USAF Major General Michael C. Kerby, who at the time of the meeting was Director of the Air Force Legislative Liaison Office. He previously had been stationed at Nellis Air Force base where he appeared to “have been in command of the operational aspects of the "stealth" fighter aircraft, as well as other very sensitive aviation activities.”

To Graham the meeting was further confirmation of the story that Bill Moore had told him that the Falcon had chosen him to be the front man for a series of leaked documents telling a secret inside story of the UFO cover-up.

Graham had been filing scores of FOIAs on UFOs and on the F-117 Stealth fighter program which still wasn’t yet declassified in 1987. In 1985 Graham had already undergone a “Code Red” investigation by the Defense Investigative Service at his work related to his interest in the F-117. Aerojet had requested the security investigation telling the Defense Investigative Service (DIS), “This facility has learned that the above subject employee has been seeking information (very sensitive) that he has no need to know and may not be in the best interest of National Security.”

In the 1987 meeting the General told Graham the code name for the Stealth fighter was “Senior Trend.” (Which turned out to be accurate when the program code name was declassified in April 1990) Graham was asked to sign a “certificate” by Hurley that he had received information he did not have a “need to know” for, and that heshould not disclose it until it was declassified. This, as Graham later pointed out, was a break from standard procedures, as he should have signed a Standard Form 312 rather than a certificate.

When the Stealth discussion was over Graham pulled the Snowbird document out of his pocket and asked the General if he was free to distribute the document which claimed there was a recovered flying saucer being tested at Groom Lake. The General looked at the document and saw the UNCLASSIFIED stamp in the bottom right corner.

He pointed to it and asked Graham “What does that say?” When Graham replied UNCLASSIFIED, Kerby told him that meant that he could do what he wanted with it.

Later Graham talked to Bill Moore about the visit and Moore stated that the men who had visited him “had been sent to encourage me to circulate copies” of the Briefing Document: Operation Majestic 12. This made sense as Moore had once told him he was the “pigeon” that was chosen for the leak – the one who would carry the message to the public.

Shortly after Graham had uncovered General Kerby’s identity he got a call from Dr. Scott Jones who was then working as an aide to Senator Claiborne Pell on paranormal phenomena. In a report Jones wrote to Pell he stated that he had contacted General Kerby and held a private meeting with him on the subject of UFOs and his meeting with Graham. Kerby, however, denied knowing or meeting Graham. Jones reported that Kerby simply “gave the standard Air Force line on Blue Book that established before it shut down that there was nothing of substance to UFO reports.”

This led Jones to phone Graham. He opened the conversation by saying that he and Graham "had a mutual acquaintance." Jones was referring to Kerby who Graham hadÂ already identified. Jones promised to send information that would help Graham identify the mysterious interviewer. This he did with a letter on Senatorial letterhead with a picture and biography of Kerby attached.

On August 6, 1989 Graham mentioned the Kerby meeting in a letter that he wrote to then Vice President Dan Quayle. In the letter he also mentioned the MJ-12 and Snowbird documents that he had been given by Moore to distribute. He asked if he was free to circulate the documents and if not would Quayle repudiate the authenticityÂ of the documents. Unfortunately, in his letter he mentioned both the F-117 and the Senior Trend codename for it. Although the existence of the F-117 had been declassified in 1988 the associate with the Senior Trend codename was still classified and Graham came under another DIS investigation.

It was in that final April 19, 1990 DIS Investigation report (89311-DK1-3408-1W9) that Graham felt he had received confirmation that the MJ-12 document and the Snowbird documents were legitimate government documents. The documents that Graham had attached to the Quayle letter caused DIS Director William A. Hughes, out of the headquarters office in Baltimore, to initiate a S.I.I (Special Investigations Inquiry) into the status of the MJ-12 and other documents including the text of the speech that Bill Moore had given to the 1989 MUFON conference where he outlined how the government UFO secrecy had operated, based on almost a decade working with Falcon and the AFOSI.

It was during this security determination, initiated by Hughes, that the MJ-12 and Snowbird documents Graham had sent to Vice President Quayle were stamped “UNCLASSIFIED” in the bottom right corner of each document. By all appearances the appeared to have been declassified when Graham requested and received a portion of his 1990 DIS file, he noticed the UNCLASSIFIED markings that had been added to the documents.Â In the opinion of Graham, who had worked in the world of classified documents his whole career, this meant that the documents had been declassified and were free to distribute to the public.

The facts seemed to back Graham’s conclusion, but when the Government Accounting Office (GAO) became involved in a reinvestigation of the Roswell UFO crash they asked the head of the USAF study Col. Richard Weaver about the now apparently declassified MJ-12 document. Col. Weaver told the GAO that the document was “bogus and therefore unclassified. Col Weaver stated that “when the document was first sent to the “Internal Security Office for review they stamped it UNCLASSIFIED before they reviewed it. After they studied it and determined that it was not authentic, they returned it to the sender, however, they had already put the UNCLASSIFIED mark on it which to the sender meant that it was an authentic document.”

Not deterred by the Weaver counter explanation, Graham immediately filed an FOIA to the Air Force asking for records of who had stamped the documents from the Quayle letter UNCLASSIFIED and when. Most importantly, realizing that the UNCLASSIFIED MJ-12 and Snowbird documents in the DIA report were just copies, he asked for color copies of the original documents which would have shown the UNCLASSIFIED markings in red ink.

Despite the government claims that no UFO information has been withheld, Graham has yet to receive real color copies of the MJ-12 and Snowbird documents that were stamped UNCLASSIFIED by the Air Force Internal Security Office, or information as to the individual actually stamped the documents UNCLASSIFIED.

The man who Graham believed was involved in approving the declassification of the two documents was Col. Weaver’s friend - the head of USAF Special Projects security Col. Barry Hennessey, who had many rumored links to the world of UFOs.Â Â His official job at AFOSI was to be in charge of security for Top Secret Air Force programs like the F-117.

To support his case that UFOs and Hennessey were key components to the meeting with General Kerby, Graham provided information about another related incident involving Hennessey and the subject of UFOs. This involved a second meeting that took place at exactly the same time Graham was being visited by General Kerby and the FBI agent.

This meeting took place in San Diego at the office of Graham’s aerospace friend John Andrews of the Testor Corporation. Andrews was considered by many to be one of the best civilian aircraft researchers in history. He had become famous for his building of a Roswell model based on eyewitness descriptions, and for his F-19 (later named F-117) Stealth model that became the best selling model kit of all times. He had become friends with Graham and Moore sharing their interest in UFOs and secret Stealth technologies.

The man who had crossed the country to visit Andrews at his office was same Col Hennessey. Like the Graham meeting, UFOs and Stealth were also topics of this second conversation. Andrews reported the details of the meeting to Graham writing, “he instructed to not use its (Stealth 117) ’F’ number nor its codename. He didn’t ask me how I had learned such things, and I didn’t offer. He opened the conversation saying, ‘I don’t know anything about UFOs.” Andrews continued, “‘Hennessey said ‘I won’t lie to you.’ But his comment about not knowing anything about UFOs was already a lie. He professed to not even know what NICAP was.”

Graham has continued to pursue Hennessey right up to the present day believing that he is part of the plan to get the MJ-12 and Snowbird documents out. In the reply to one FOIA Graham found the following statement which showed that UFOs was Hennessey’s main interest in him. Stealth was not even mentioned in the complaint, “It has come to our attention that Subject (Lee Graham) has had frequent correspondence with the U.S. Air Force regarding UFOs. His correspondence may be reviewed by contacting Col. Barry Hennessey, USAF, office of Special Projects, at the Pentagon…”

Graham wrote three FOIAs directly to Hennessey at the Pentagon trying to get to the bottom of his UFO connection to the mysterious Colonel. Two of the certified letters were returned as undeliverable. However, according to Graham, “I proved through the library that they were received. They had been opened and resealed. (One of the letters was signed for by Evan Redmon – Pentagon Misc. 20310). One of them was on paper that I had not sent. It was a different color paper and it was folded differently.”

Graham wrote many letters and filed dozens of FOIA requests to try and validate the document. On May 24, 1990, the Defense Investigative Service (DIS) responded to one of Graham’s FOIA requests by sending him back a copy of the MJ-12 document, each page of which was stamped “UNCLASSIFIED” across the lower part of the page.

But then he got older, he got calmer, and one day he was driving down the freeway in Los Angeles he told me, and this is when it all changed for him. And he's speeding along, and all of a sudden he hears this little fragment of melody, that comes into his head as inspiration often comes, el...usive and tantalizing, and he wants it, you know, it's gorgeous, and he longs for it, but he has no way to get it. He doesn't have a piece of paper, he doesn't have a pencil, he doesn't have a tape recorder. So he starts to feel all of that old anxiety start to rise in him like, "I'm going to lose this thing, and then I'm going to be haunted by this song forever. I'm not good enough, and I can't do it." And instead of panicking, he just stopped. He just stopped that whole mental process and he did something completely novel. He just looked up at the sky, and he said, "Excuse me, can you not see that I'm driving? Do I look like I can write down a song right now? If you really want to exist, come back at a more opportune moment when I can take care of you. Otherwise, go bother somebody else today. Go bother Leonard Cohen."

Tom Waits on Aliens

My dad was a radio expert in the army, and in addition to bicycle repair, he had me building my own radios and sending away for kits and creating my own little shortwave radios. And I picked up things when I was a child that I swore were extra-terrestrial, and maintain to this day that I made contact, or at least I was on the receiving end of a relationship with an extra-terrestrial but was unable to communicate with him because my radio couldn’t transmit...... It was a language that did not exist. It was not Russian, I was picking up Russia and Poland and Hungary and China— It was a language, but it was not from around here. And here I was unable to transmit. On earth, we never acknowledge that they exist because it doesn’t fit into our beliefs about the creation of the universe. God made the earth in seven days, then he rested. The idea that there would be creatures out there. The government is apparently keeping creatures they found, and in top secret bunkers in New Mexico, never to be viewed by the public. I believe that.

Tom Waits on Being Different from the Crowd

In reply to his children who asked him why he didn't have a normal job like other dads Waits stated,

In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.

Many years ago I published a story about two studies that had been requested by newly elected President Jimmy Carter in 1977. The story was told by Daniel Sheehan, then General Counsel to the United States Jesuit National Headquarters - National Office of Social Ministry in Washington, D.C. He was approached by Marcia S. Smith who had been given the job of producing the reports – one on UFOs, and one on extraterrestrial intelligence.

Sheehan reported that he was asked by Smith "to participate in a highly classified major evaluation of the UFO phenomena, and extraterrestrial intelligence."

When the story was first published James Oberg e-mailed me about the story. He expressed doubt but said that he would contact Marcia Smith about it as he knew her. (They both advised various elements of the United States on the Soviet space program)

Later he e-mailed me back to say he had talked to her and adding “Is she talking to you?”

I stated that she did not answer my e-mail and asked Oberg what she had said.

He replied, “Not what you said.”

I said that was fine. Fill me in as to what she said happened. At that point Oberg disappeared and no longer answered any of my queries. Well, he is back and he has added a bit to why he would not talk to me. Apparently he has chosen to cover for Marcia Smith. He stated.

"The reason for this silence was the fact that anything Oberg would say pro or con would simply increase the pressure on Marcia Smith to confirm or deny the Sheehan recollections. Smith had no intention to talk, and Oberg planned to do what he could to help his long time friend."

The entire reply from Oberg posted on Facebook is posted below. Danny Sheehan is producing a series of books related to his career, and it is my understanding that the UFO part of his career will be covered. There is also a planned documentary on the Jimmy Carter sighting, and Carter’s handling of the UFO issue which will deal with these two highly classified reports produced for President Jimmy Carter.

James Oberg

From Cameron's link I'm trying to figure out what I have to do with these passages:

"When the story broke that Smith had done two reports for President Carter in 1977, Oberg contacted this author and provided him with Marcia Smith’s E-mail so I could obtain her comment. Smith did not respond to the E-mail, but it appears that she and Oberg did discuss the two reports. In a second E-mail, Oberg wrote, "She is talking to me. Is she talking to you." "

JO: I don't recall using email in 1977, do I need to look up my old files in the garage?

"Asked what Smith had told him about the ETI and UFO studies, reportedly done by Smith in 1977, Oberg refused to say anything. A researcher out of Washington, D.C. wrote Oberg asking for smith’s phone number, but this request was also ignored. Oberg, always ready with an opinion about anything and everything, was forced to a position of complete silence."

So you're still sore I stopped writing to you when it seemed pointless, and that shows I'm the bad person in the relationship. Criminy.

"The reason for this silence was the fact that anything Oberg would say pro or con would simply increase the pressure on Marcia Smith to confirm or deny the Sheehan recollections. Smith had no intention to talk, and Oberg planned to do what he could to help his long time friend."

You may here have perfectly illustrated why I stopped writing uselessly -- you were perfectly capable of conjuring up imaginary motivations and thought processes in others, based on your own agenda. Yeah, it all comes back to me now.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” ― John Adams

In the past few months two new articles have been writtenÂ about the elusive rumored UFO control group called Majectic 12 or MJ-12. The one article was written by Alejandro Rojas titled "MJ-12: Is this Legendary UFO Conspiracy U.S. Air Force Disinformation?

"I have said for years that MJ-12 should be relegated to a footnote in the history of UFO studies, but it keeps appearing. I know that Alejandro’s piece will not end the debate, but, at least, it comes from a different perspective."

I would reply that the reason the MJ-12 story will not die is that there is a lot of evidence to support it. It is however important to make a distinction between the MJ-12 group which is real, and the MJ-12 document which is almost certainly not a legitimate document. Because the document is probably a hoax has very little to do with a UFO control group set up to handle the extraterrestrials, technology, policies, security, and national security implications.

The main reason that the concept that MJ-12 is a hoax is an almost religious belief thatÂÂÂ Bill Moore was a bad guy and is therefore responsible many of the ills in ufology like the MJ-12 concept. The evidence used to support the evil Moore theory usually circle around a scientist outside Kirkland AFB who was reporting UFOs over the nuclear weapons being stored at Kirkland and the role of a low level agent in the USAF disinformation operation was was involved for only a couple years of a decade long storyÂÂÂÂ known as Richard Doty.

What was missing from the articles is any discussion of the evidence for MJ-12 that I have presented in two books and in a recent article which is below. It appears that it is time to publish it again. What is even stranger is that although everyone claims they are reviewing all the evidence in search of a accurate estimation of the situation, it appears that pre-existing beliefs dominate, as I have never been asked for the name of the declassification officer who told us she had seen an MJ-12 type document prior to Moore ever talking about it, or the name of the archivist inside the vault at the National Archives who reported to me that he believed MJ-12 documents had been seen.

In my book “UFOs, Area 51, and Government Informants” I spent a lot of time looking at the evidence that backed the idea of an inside control group known as MJ-12. The idea of this MJ-12 group started to appear in the early 1980s, through a researcher known as Bill Moore. Moore had written a book known as the Roswell Incident which sold many copies and was the forerunner of the modern obsession with the Roswell crash.

The story of a control group goes back to the Canadian Top Secret document on flying saucers where the Canadians were questioning American officials through the Canadian military liaison attached to the Canadian Embassy in Washington. The report that was filed on what was told to them through classified channels indicated that there was a control group. The document stated that American officials had stated that flying saucer existed, it was the most highly classified subject in the United States and that a small group headed up by President Roosevelts's science advisor, Vannevar Bush, was heading up a "small group" looking at the modus operandi of the flying saucers.

Days after Moore released the book he was contacted by US intelligence which started to feed himÂÂÂÂ information by both USAF master sergeant Richard Doty and a second person attached to the CIA that Bill Moore gave the code name Falcon. Later 10 more intelligence sources would come forward to provide information to Moore. It is believed that some of these may actually have been ex-CIA directors. (Gates and Helms)
